Couples Heli-Getaways

Just the two of you and your personal pilot/guide will discover new rivers full of fish, eat lunch atop a glacier, walk in old growth forests of cedar and spruce and cool your toes in the sparkling water of the Pacific as you stroll the beautiful, sandy beaches of  the West Coast.  Visit the home of the killer whale and grizzly bear and view life from an alternate perspective. For those guests that go whale watching, Nimmo Bay uses the services of Mackay Whale Watching. This local business is owned and operated by the Mackay family. They have been in the whale watching industry for many years, have a intimate knowledge about whales and know all the spots to see whales on B.C.’s central coast.

After a memorable day of flying, fishing and exploration, return to Nimmo Bay for our famous feast of coastal delicacies prepared by our renowned Chef. Take a relaxing massage, soak in our waterfall hot tubs, and sleep the best sleep of your life in your private Intertidal Chalet.

This adventure is ideally suited for two whether they be sweethearts, friends or family.

NOTE: The helicopter stays with your group all day. It is not split amongst other groups.
